About the Book
The newest book from award-winning photographer Frank Dienst, Station Door pauses on lifeÕs milestones and immortalizes the American landscape. Printed by Stinehour Press, this collection of film-captured black and white photographs is the authorÕs second self-published book. Station Door is a striking departure from its predecessor, Wetland Voices, delving deep into the human experience with original verse written by the author. The hazily lit images of the desolate, rural South juxtaposed with scenes of city life glitter with clarity and irony. DienstÕs images offer more than just beautiful compositions; every photograph leads with a social commentary that never lets the viewer forget there is always something more behind the authorÕs intuitive eye.
Released December 2006

Praise for both
ÒÉStation Door is a meditative visual reflection on lifeÕs journey and some of the stops along the way: stops of the uncertainties of life, some of the dark times, some of the spiritual longing, and some of the everyday eventsÉÓ
– Dr. Richard Zakia, Professor Emeritus, Rochester Institute of Technology
ÒÉ[DienstÕs] photography began with a keen aesthetic, black and white Florida flora imagery in Wetland Voices. Station Door shows a remarkable artistic growth and strong voiceÉÓ
–Pam Harbaugh, Florida Today
ÒÉDienst has a wonderful eye and a unique vision which certainly deserves to be better known. The images are exceptional and certainly among the best landscape and nature work I have seen. Lovers of fine black and white photography would be remiss not to add this book to their collectionÉÓ
-Praise for Wetland Voices from Shutterbug magazine
ÒÉFrank DienstÕs black and white photographs capture the stark beauty and intricate wonder of FloridaÕs natural world. The photographs in this impressive coffee-table book are simple- burned palmettos, fallen tree pines, blooming wildflowers, tangled roots- but they convey the transcendent power of natureÉÓ
-Praise for Wetland Voices from the Tampa Tribune-Times
